Rem 700 .270

You know you don't shoot deer at 1000 yards! !!

Some people do - I don't; however I wouldn't double guess lethality of 6mm on thin skinned game even at that range (with proper bullet). Thick skinned game I'd want 200gn+ projectile.

And that's the problem with 270 - it offers you thin skin game performance with thick skin game kick.

Who feels the kick shooting deer?

Anyone who actually practices before the hunting season, not dinner plate one hit wonder the day before the opener.

I've never stretched out a full thousand, but I've harvested at 850 before. Hunting the plains of Harmon county. Our normal is around 600 yds. Rarely under 400.

I have no problem with the 270s recoil. It's a real mans load, the 6mm around here are for the children and womenfolk

Just because something isn't very well thought out doesn't mean it can't be very effective. 270 is both

My son-in-law's cheap Mossberg .270 will shoot .75 inches at 100. Don't know about any further out. I've never noticed recoil being bad with any .270's I've shot, in fact I was pleasantly surprised with the first one I ever shot. And trust me, I'm not a fan of recoil.

Lets see a few 5 shot groups or a 10 shot string. Accuracy and recoil might actually not be so great if you're talking 1-3 shot groups.
